So how are you falling apart my fellow early millennial or gen Xer?



This is how I have been doing it.
Turned 40. Like month later had my first serious injury ever. Complete distal bicep tear.

About 6 months later had sex in sauna. Got this feeling I have to stop and was wrecked for couple of hours. Pushed it out of my mind, I mean it is really not big brain move to fuck in 85C when you are 40 years old. It is that, not my ticker.

Few months from that was building snow castle with my kid. Got this feeling I have to stop and take a bit of breathing break... Stopping and breathing did not help shit. I was wrecked for couple of hours.
Maybe I just have virus, that covid puts pump in trouble as do many viruses some times, even if you don't feel too sick. Might be just that...

Well these were couple of years ago. Since then have had pneumonia for first time in my life, might not be age related, but first time ever I really felt like viruses and bacteria can fucking kill... broken one rib trying to do some moves meant for younger people.

Had minor operation few days ago, but for it there was blood pressure measurement. I know I have always had high BP, but past events and age have started me actually being worried about it. So those 146/108 numbers made me decide to get BP monitor and now I am measuring twice a day with clear plan of going to doctor in couple of weeks and start my old man meds. And maybe get test to see if those couple crashes have left damage to my heart.

Not sure if this is off-topic or not, but I straight up DO NOT care for black people.

If nothing in your body hurts when you turn 40, you're dead.

When you age you get these embarrassing micro-accidents. My neck hurts. Why? Because I drank and turned my head in an awkward angle.

Could be. With age I have found same feelings. But not sure if it is health or fitness issue related. I fucking hate autistic people. I guess that is kinda on topic also, as old parents increase risk of child being born prone to grow up as diaper wearing poo eating animal torturing pedophile. But then again can't really feel deterioration of my sperm quality.

I coughed on the toilet and pulled my back. I knew it was downhill from there.

when old becomes old
i only feel old if i sleep for more than 6 hours

My eyesight - which was always a bit tenuous for distance - completely turned to shit in my late 40s. Now I need two pairs of glasses: one for driving/distance, the other for reading. I should probably get bifocals, but wearing those will make me feel even older than I already do.

I got these deep naso-labial wrinkles almost overnight. I don't really mind wrinkles but these bug the hell out of me. I look permanently unhappy now.

 

[Iron Jaguar]

Having to go for a piss at 3am is getting very tiresome.

 

[Major Pain]

I have near constant ankle\foot pain. But only the one foot.
And I got shingles last year. After I had a hives attack. Ruined my year.

I thought it was a over used comedy trope of needing extensive amounts of coffee as an adult to cope with the bullshit of the day. It wasn't. I am that adult now. My day doesn't start until the coffee consumption does.

We will miss zoomers when Alphas are old enough to show up. Fuck entertainment produced by zoomers to kids, it is braindead.

"Few moments later.
Bruh"

Is actually a complete joke I think.

My left shoulder has been fucked for months now... Again. Well I guess last time it was right one.

Hives. Reminds me of that time... 36 I was I think.
I had a year when I had that problem. I am pretty sure system just got overloaded when I got fuckload of mosquito bites one week. Then I was suddenly allergic to all legumes and eggs and some prescription drugs, some spices. Passed in like 10 months. Sucked ass.

I'll give a serious response.

I am actually kinda happy we are seeing so many people turn 18 and move on to the farms or people in their early 20s.

I thought forum culture was dying. It kinda is I guess. But knowing that not only do the younger generation have the ability to integrate and become part of old Internet forum culture but also continue to do the same lulz fuelled antics I did when I was that age online gives me hope.

It kinda makes me unironically happy that shitposting never died even after all these years of wokism and social media taking over the Internet.

After spending almost 20 years on the 'chans, the farms is such a refreshing change of pace. I get laughs in both places equally, but conversation is much more stable here. Most 4chan conversation is started with a bait xwitter screenshot with some variation of "x sissies, not like this" proceeded by 200 replies of nonsense. I hope the kids make regular ol' forums a thing again.

That's fine. I pity zoomers for not having experienced an Internet not entirely run by shitty corporations and ruined by social media, so if they find fun here that's a good thing. I like the soyteens because they remind me of the stupid shit we used to do on /b/.

One tip for you zoomers: don't smoke, probably don't vape either. Yeah yeah anti-smoking ads are super gay and lame, but that stuff really starts to hit home when you pass 40.

My biggest issue is my plummeting sex drive. Sometimes I go months with zero interest. I'm not at ED levels yet, but it's definitely noticeable.

 

[XYZpdq Jr.]

around when I got to thirty or so I had a work ID photo and noticed I was really fucking fat in the face, so I started using a standing desk, cut out soy and corn, started doing hindu squats, stuff like that
ten years later I ended up in great shape and bicycle a few miles a day for my work commute

I take a lot of glucosamin/condroitin, that's a big help for joints. I ran out around a work event that needed a lot of literal heavy lifting
I thought I'd gut it out, ran out like wed, event was friday, biked saturday into work
I have literally been through benzo withdrawal that wasn't as bad as I felt after a few times up and down the stairs at work

I use tadalafil with microdose for gym. Seems to actually effect drive as well, not just ability. Might want to give it a shot, if haven't.
